Bo Yan said to Bo Cixue, “Tl go and comfort your mother. But if you go and exchange for Tiantian, Dad must go and protect you.”
“Dad, you can’t go.” Bo Cixue knew that her father was very capable. When he was young, he was brave, good at fighting, and resourceful. But now that he was old, his ability to deal with dangerous places was definitely not as good as before.
“The King will send people to protect me.” Bo Cixue pursed her lips and said calmly, “Besides, Cheng Yan will definitely take me away after the exchange with Tiantian.”
Bo Yan shook his head. “Daddy must go with them.”
After Bo Cixue communicated with her parents, she returned to the palace from the Bo family.
On the way there, she called Irene.
Ai Lin received a call from Bo Cixue, who asked her to help her.
“No problem. Your business is my business.”
“Thank you.”
‘That night, Mu Sihan received another call from Cheng Yan.
He told her the exchange address.
The address was Layi Town. It was connected to a primeval forest and the residents of the town had all moved out, known as the land of death.
‘That area was not under the jurisdiction of any government and the environment was bad. In order to punish betrayers, many organizations would throw them into Layi Town and in the end, they would become a pile of bones.
Ye Jie had once been kidnapped and had escaped to Layi Town.
She had also experienced a life and death struggle there.
And now, Cheng Yan had fixed the place of the exchange.
They did not dare to delay and took a helicopter.
The next afternoon, they arrived at Layi Town.
It was a simple camp and the entourage made some food. After eating, they discussed countermeasures in the tent.
The sky was getting dark and Mu Sihan’s subordinate came in to report.
“Your Majesty, General Bo, an arrow was shot just now. There’s a note on the arrow.”
The subordinate passed the note to Mu Sihan.
Mu Sihan opened the note and his handsome and cold expression darkened after reading it.
Bo Yan took the note and his eyes darkened.
“Dad, what does it say?”
Bo Yan said with a cold expression, “He asked you to go into the forest alone and did not mention Tiantian. Besides, he did not negotiate.”
Bo Cixue frowned slightly. “You want me to go in alone and not let Tiantian go?”
Bo Yan tore the note into pieces. “He really doesn’t respect us.”
“Dad, do as he says.” Bo Cixue pursed her lips tightly, her eyes clear and decisive. “I promise to bring Tiantian back safely.”
“Little Apple, let’s not talk about how dangerous Cheng Yan is. It’s unknown what kind of danger you will encounter when you enter the primeval forest alone…”
Bo Cixue walked to the entrance of the tent and looked at the endless forest. The sky was getting dark and it was like a monster with a bloody mouth. It was indeed dark and scary, but she was not afraid.
“He asked me to go in, so I’m sure he won’t let me die so easily.” Bo Cixue clenched her fists tightly and said firmly, “Dad, Uncle Sihan, it’s decided! I’l go in tomorrow morning!”
Mu Sihan and Bo Yan could not watch Bo Cixue take the risk.
He ordered someone to guard her in the tent.
However, before dawn the next day, the person guarding Bo Cixue came in to report. “I went to the washroom and Miss Bo knocked out another guard. She changed into his clothes and ran away.”
Bo Yan closed his eyes and said in a low voice, “You can’t be blamed for this. I know my own daughter very well. She’s already here. No matter how dangerous it is, she will find a way to get in.”
“With her intelligence, she should have left clues for us after entering!”
Bo Cixue entered the forest.
Before long, someone came over, covered her eyes and pulled her forward.
After walking for a long time, Bo Cixue was pushed onto a steep hill.
The person who had brought her here pulled away the cloth covering her eyes.
After a while, Bo Cixue’s vision gradually became clear.
She was indeed standing on a steep hill. A few more steps and she would be at a bottomless cliff.
Bo Cixue turned back and looked around.
Soon, she saw the tall man standing not far away.
In front of the man lay Tiantian, whose hands and feet were tied and whose mouth was stuffed with something.
Tiantian’s eyes were red and swollen from crying. When she saw Bo Cixue, she wanted to say something, but her mouth was blocked and she could only make sounds.
Tiantian kept shaking her head, her eyes filled with worry and fear.
Bo Cixue wanted to approach Tiantian, but the man said slowly, “You’d better not move.”
Bo Cixue stopped and looked at the man.
He still had that gentle and elegant appearance, but the warm smile on his lips was gone, replaced by a deep and dark coldness.
Bo Cixue smirked mockingly. “Is this your real face?”
The man said nothing and pulled Tiantian up from the ground, pressing a needle against Tiantian’s neck.
“Tm sure you’re very familiar with the cyanide inside. Just a little bit is enough to make her…”
Before he could finish, Bo Cixue interrupted him agitatedly. “I’m already here. Let go of Tiantian and I’ll be your hostage!”
Tiantian shook her head with tears in her eyes.
He smirked. “Do you know why I brought her here?”
Bo Cixue looked at the cliff behind him and unconsciously thought of Ye Jie’s kidnapping.
There was an answer in her mind.
“Because of your sister.”
Cheng Yan did not expect Bo Cixue to know that he had a sister and his pupils constricted slightly.
“How did you know?”
Bo Cixue took a deep breath and continued, “Are you going to take revenge for her? Cheng Yan, your sister is still alive…”
Before Bo Cixue could finish, she was interrupted by his agitated and cold voice. “Shut up! You and Ye Tian are the people Ye Jie values. Now that he’s dead, one of you has to go down and accompany him. Tell me, am I very good to him?”
“Cheng Yan, listen to me…”
Seeing that the more she said, the more he stabbed the needle into Tiantian’s neck, Bo Cixue could only calm him down and not mention his sister. “Let me exchange with Tiantian. I’m willing to die.”
Cheng Yan narrowed his eyes and looked at Bo Cixue’s expression quietly. “Are you really willing to die?”
Bo Cixue did not hesitate and nodded, saying firmly, “Yes.”
“Tie her hands.” Cheng Yan’s men hidden in the forest immediately went forward and tied Bo Cixue’s hands.
Bo Cixue was pushed in front of Cheng Yan by Cheng Yan’s men. Cheng Yan pushed Tiantian away and aimed the syringe at Bo Cixue’s neck.
Cheng Yan looked down at Bo Cixue in front of him and said coldly, “Don’t you not like him anymore? Don’t you want to reconcile with him even if you die? Why are you willing to die for his sister? If you don’t want to, the person who will die is his sister!”
